Mail Gmail Tweet Share Email You can share Yahoo! calendar events with anyone through what's called an iCalendar (iCal) file. These calendar files might have the ICAL or ICALENDAR file extension but normally end in ICS. After you make a Yahoo! calendar, you can let anyone view the events and import the calendar into their own calendar program or mobile app. This feature is great if you have a work or personal calendar that you want co-workers, friends, or family to be able to see whenever you make changes. Once you've followed the steps below, just share the URL to the ICS file, and they'll be able to monitor all your new and existing calendar events to keep tabs on your schedule. If you ever decide to stop sharing these events, just follow the steps explained below. Finding the Yahoo! Calendar iCal Address Log on to your Yahoo! Mail account.

Once you've created a calendar, it will appear in the left pane. Click the small arrow next to it and choose the Share... option. Name the calendar and select a color for it.
